About me
I am a compassionate and experienced therapist, social worker and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, who listens, really listens. I have 27 plus years of experience in mental health, social services, and substance abuse assessments and treatment. My clients are teens, parents, couples, individual adults, and families. Some of the issues generally brought to therapy are stress management, anger management, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, family issues, relationship issues, and struggles with career and home life.
My experience for the past 29 years includes working with at-risk teens, Teens who are being bullied, teens who have an underlying mental health issue and are acting out their pain through negative behaviors, experimenting with drugs and alcohol and being rebellious.
I work with teens to help them identify their stressors; improve their communication skills with peers, teachers, parents and other adults around them.
Further, I provided various mental health services to, elementary, middle, alternative and high schools.
I helped write grants, developed and implemented anger management, parenting, sex education, and bullying programs and curriculum among other services to eleven different school districts.
I have worked with children from six years of age to adults. Though I am not licensed as a play therapist, I did completed the required year of play therapy classes, but choose to focus more on preteens and teenagers.
I also hope that clients understand that Therapy can make a difficult and painful situation worse. Positive outcomes in therapy is not guaranteed.
I good therapist only puts in about 15% of energy into a 45 or 50 minute session, 40% of the energy comes from the clients during the session and the remainder 45% comes from the client outside the session.
A good therapist never works harder than the client.
I welcome the honor of working with, you when you are ready to begin the process of counseling and therapy.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Nabeel Zabak. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Nabeel Zabak has been with me for more than a 1 1/2 now. I believe divine intervention allowed me to have a therapist such as Nabeel. I was hurling towards Burn Out, and needed help. His guidance has allowed me to work through "the why", "the how", and "what now"? His experience is unmatched with my previous therapist (no knock to my previous ones). But when you find the right therapist the and consent to your own internal reflection. Your life trajectory changes for the good, and joy filled life. Thank you Nabeel.
teencounseling.com has been invaluable. My therapist is wonderful and I feel supported, connected, and sincerely think he’s the best therapist there ever, ever was.
Absolutely wonderful therapist with decades of experience! He takes time to truly listen. He will never pressure you to talk about anything you don't want to. He will let you open up at the pace that's right for you. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Nabeel has been the best therapist I have ever had. He is extremely knowledgeable, kind and attentive. I would highly recommend Nabeel to friends or family.
I've been working with Nabeel Zabak for several months now, and I think he is an excellent counselor. He is patient and supportive. He has tons of knowledge and examples that he shares with me and helps me understand not only the counseling process but how and why it can work for me. I am making improvement in many areas since we've begun our discussions, and have hope for the future that I did not have before I started.
So far, I am very pleased with Nabeel's sessions. It is my belief he is very knowledgable and caring.
Easy to talk too and very understanding and aware. He can identify things that you might not even know was there.
Nabeel Zabak is undoubtedly one of the most efficient very thorough and highly knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend him to others especially the first-timers.
Nabeel is an extremely skilled therapist. He has already helped us so much in the few sessions we've had. He always makes sure we are comfortable and understand his approach. He is very knowledgeable in theory and practice and is able to explain the psychology theories around his approach and then show us how it applies practically. He is so empathetic and works hard to really see and understand where we're coming from. And he does all this with humor, warmth and kindness.
